node_exporter container - custom perf events?

[Jack Cannon]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to switch from collectd to the node_exporter container for a telemetry related project.  Everything works great, except for the fact that we need to collect more perf events than are currently enabled in the default container.  Is there a way to pass a perf event list into node exporter somehow?  I noticed that the events are defined in the perf_linux.go file.  This means I would have to hack the events I need into the file and rebuild.  Any thoughts?

Thanks!!
